Which size spacers for stock et45 wheels?
I have the 17" stock wheels,(04 A6 w/sport suspension) and after having to fork over $5500 to Uncle Sam for my tax bill, there goes my plans for my new wheels, tires, and Koni/eibach kit....
So in the meantime, I was considering spacers for the stockers to fill out the stance a bit until I replenish the car fund
So, with an et of 45, should I go 8, 10 or 15? I was looking at the ECS or H&R kits. With the 15's, would that essentially make them sit equal to the RS6 wheels with an et30?
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeremy

I've always thought that the ET35 wheel was the "best" offset for the narrow-body A6...
When I ran the 17x8" forged 4.2 sport wheel on the 2.7T, I thought is filled the wheel well nicely. I sold a guy my ET30 RS6 wheels, which were installed on his 2.7T S-line, and they did really go right to the edge of the fender. That convinced me even more that ET35 was ideal.
JMHO, but go 10mm on the spacer if you really need to. Spacers and lugs, it is still not cheap, but less expensive than new wheels!

Henry, I think I saw kits on ECS for roughly 100 or so an axle, but no more than that... Much cheaper than the ~2K i was planning on spending! And I do like my stock wheels, just too small
OT, but did you see my other post about the RS6 seats Henry?
